Abstract
THE following investigations were set on foot on account of a dissension between the firm of Messrs. Brown, Boveri and Co., Switzerland (Baden), and the authorities regarding the proper pressure for two different electric railways to be worked by three-phase alternating current, namely, the lines Stansstad-Engelberg and Fermatt-Garnergratt, which lines it was proposed to work at a pressure of 750 volts. But this pressure being regarded as dangerous, the authorities refused to allow one exceeding 500 volts to be actually employed.
